We went to Braai soon after it opened - took visiting South African house guests with us to share the experience. We were seated promptly, the decor is beautifully done - made me feel like I was inside a large thatched bungalo - the African (Ndebele) artwork was very tastefully done and true to the African experience (we lived there for over 40 years). We ordered from the wonderful selection on the menu and did not have an unduly long wait for our food - and what a fantastic culinary experience it was! We all tried something different from the menu - the presentation was terrific, each tasted delicious - the wine complimented our meal! They were having a computer problem that evening (as sometimes happens in a new place, no matter what sort of business it is) but everyone managed to stay calm and our orders came out of the kitchen right on schedule. We were pleasantly surprised at the knowledge shown by the server with regard to the wines he recommended we drink with our meals (not everyone had wine but all enjoyed their meal). The music that was playing in the background was spot on! All in all, a truly unique experience... Thank you, Braai - we will certainly be coming back next time we are in NYC!
